I'd love to hear it although I believe he is greatly overrated in league circles.

See, now you have peaked my interest. I always liked Hamilton and thought it a shame he moved on.

'SKINS TO CLEAN HOUSE AFTER THE DRAFT?

There's talk in league circles that the Washington Redskins will clean out the personnel department following the 2007 draft.

It's presently unclear whether V.P. of football operations Vinny Cerrato would be caught up in the rumored purge. Cerrato was fired by the team during the failed Marty Schottenheimer experiment, and re-hired after Marty was Schott-canned.

Per the 2006 NFL Record & Fact Book, the front office also includes director of pro personnel Louis Riddick, director of college scouting Scott Campbell, pro scouts Terry Ray and Donnie Warren, college scouts Mike Faulkiner, Tim Gribble, Shemy Schembechler, and Jim Zeches, national scouts Russ Bolinger and Joel Patten, and director of football administrtion Eric Schaffer.

I wonder who people will scapegoat after Vinny is gone?

Don't let the door hit you in the ass.... SEE YA!

It's nothing salacious for those thinking (hoping) it is. It's just that there was a bigger plan in place for the long term that got screwed over by Abe Pollin's mishandling of Stackhouse's contract when they traded for him. Rip wanted max money from the Wizards-this after talking smack about Jordan in the locker room-but to that point in his career hadn't proven he deserved it. When he was told to basically earn it and he'd get it, he said he was going to bolt when he became eligible for free agency at the end of the year. So they traded him for a salary they could dump (Stackhouse) at the end of the year so they could get some top free agents that had already said off the record they were intent on signing with the Wizards.

It's all worked out but bottom line moving Rip was part of a bigger plan
